It depends on what you want to accomplish with it.
Does anyone have a 5000gp+ trail class mare I could get a foal out of (from my own stallion)?

I would prefer it to be decent in the other skills, too.

I'll send you a PM as I've got a few mares that could work depending on what you'd wantdefault smiley :)

What breeds excel in speed and trot? I'm looking to breed my twin Arabian fillies Callie and Shannon when they're old enough too.

My best cross bloodline comes from my first GA, a dark bay Thoroughbred mare named Faster Than Light. I bought her in direct sales and raised/trained her from a foal. Horses descended from her include Dashing Light, Light Up the Sky (Highland/TB), Desert Rose (introducing Akhal-Teke), Whisper (bringing in Standardbred), and most recently little Echo of the Light, also a dark bay TB filly. Six generations! All of the horses I mentioned are in the Close to My Heart breeding tab, if you want to see them.

@ Apple Rosa: Those two are pretty good.

Does anyone have an estimate of which breeds would improve the bloodline I mentioned above? I'm planning on bring in Peruvian Pasos and more Akhal-Teke and Highland Pony. (Note: The mare I'm using from it at the moment is Whisper)

Hey everyone! I took a small break from crossbreeding and the game, but I'm back! I've been busy the past few days breeding some new projects. I'm going for as even a skill set as possible.

TWalker/TB
Nashville and Memphis

QH/Icelandic
Akureyri and
Reykjavik (need to bolt first)

Finally an unamed colt of QH/Peruvian Paso. Not sure if I'm going to keep him or not.

@September

I have a Lusitano stallion that I trained as little experiment if you're interested. He is BLUP trained.

I so miss crossing, but I have too many mares just collecting dust. Until custom foals are wanted, I can't retire them.
I am working 2 pure mares for crossing when I'm able to get back in. A QH, and Crio.
My Crio has a twin sister I won't be using...wink, winky.

Crio

Until then, could always use a hand on making a spreadsheet or something for my secret 4 way project...

I think I have noticed that when a foal is 50/50 it's breed is classified as that of the fathers. Can anyone confirm this?
Yes this is right, when horses are equal crosses the foal will always take the Sire's last listed breed.

Anyone want to help me recreate Lauderdale? I want the project for my upcoming birthday.

Anyone have some cross foals their wanting to get rid of? I need some more babies to skill up for my EC. I've also recently bred some TB/Arab's, TB/Mustang's and their getting to be my favorite. default smiley (lol)

Also, if anyone buys Golden Apples, feel free to message me! default smiley ;)
I've got a few Cerb, but they're like...no higher than 4000GP. See why I miss crossing? I can't raise GPs. But I don't want dozens and dozens of mares just sitting around. I want to retire them lol

I could work on my secret 4 way project, but I'm at a loss on how to structure a spreadsheet for them, as far as who to breed to who and such...

I would take you up on them, but I'm trying to have 7000+GP. I think I'm gonna focus on my TB/Arab crosses as well as my Mustang crosses. See how they go default smiley (lol)
